Opening address by N.M.A. Chairman Prof. S.M. Schwarz
Abstract
The reports of Professors A. D. Gusev and T. D. Epstein "Medical errors and crimes, their causes and ways for their elimination", which are on the agenda of the plenary session of the Scientific Medical Association, should be of great interest to a wide range of doctors.
Medical errors and medical crimes
Abstract
The position of a forensic medical expert in cases of bringing physicians to justice is extremely difficult for an expert to assess not only the actions of a physician, but also all the conditions affecting the work of a doctor, and only from the totality of these data can one or the other conclusion be drawn.
Use of ultraviolet erythemotherapy for gastrointestinal diseases
Abstract
Everyone knows and experimentally proved the therapeutic effect of light: its bactericidal effect, its effect on the nervous and vascular system, as well as on the blood; stimulating effect on metabolism, beneficial effect on the growth and regeneration of tissues, etc. Despite the widespread use of ultraviolet therapy, dosage issues cannot be considered resolved for certain diseases. The questions about the influence of ultraviolet therapy on the autonomic nervous system in general and, focal, at individual points of autonomic innervation have not been resolved.
Results of a three-day outpatient trial of plasmocid and osarsol for malaria
Abstract
Over the past three years, many observations on the use of plasmacide have already accumulated. Treatment of three-day malaria with plasmacid relieves febrile attacks in 93-94% of cases. The disappearance of plasmodium from peripheral blood occurs in 76-86%. In the course of treatment with plasmacid, relapses were recorded in 20-22%, occurring more often on the 2-3rd cycle of plasmacid application.
To the etiology and pathogenesis of Schönlein-Henoch disease
Abstract
Schönlein-Henoch disease is one of the four main forms of diseases of the group of hemorrhagic diathesis. Not far is the time when Werlhof's disease, Schönlein's disease and Henoch's purpura were described as one form, and the basis for their unification was a seemingly similar clinical picture, manifested by bruises, petechiae, and bleeding of mucous membranes. And only by the end of the 19th century, when hematological differentiation became possible, of the three indicated forms, two were fully defined - the Verlhof symptom complex and the Schönlein-Henoch disease (syndrome).
Blood calcium for eczema
Abstract
One of the urgent problems of modern dermatology, which are of deep scientific interest and are of extremely great practical importance, is the complex and controversial issue of the etiology of eczema. However, despite the colossal literature, despite a number of detailed experimental studies, the main and deep contradictions of representatives of the main dermatological schools on the nature of eczema remain unresolved.
Oligodynamic gonovaccine in the treatment of complications of male gonorrhea
Abstract
Vaccination therapy for gonorrhea has won a firm place among other treatments in the last 25 years. According to most authors (Demba, Holtsov, Fronstein, Bruck, Buschke, Ilyinsky, etc.), the use of gonococcus vaccine manages to cause such immuno-biological restructuring in the body, which quickly eliminates the painful process and leads to the elimination of gonococcus. There is relatively little controversy in the literature about the specific effect of vaccine therapy; the question rests, just as with the choice of a vaccination method against intestinal infections, on how the vaccine itself is made and its dosage.
On the issue of deafening rubber gloves
Abstract
The issue of hand disinfection has not lost its interest and relevance so far. Despite all the tricks of the surgeons trying to completely get rid of postoperative suppuration, this does not work, because many factors of suppuration do not depend on the surgeon. However, disinfection of the surgeon's hands during postoperative suppuration plays, probably, the primary role. It is quite natural that this question has to be constantly revisited. Perhaps Mikulich was right when he argued that solving this problem was tantamount to squaring the circle.
On so-called chronic fibrous encapsulating peritonitis
Abstract
There is a rare and little-studied disease in which the entire small intestine or part of it is enveloped in a special dense connective tissue membrane that does not grow together, which is especially characteristic, neither with the intestines, nor with the surrounding organs. Clinically, this disease manifests itself, in short, symptoms of obstruction and the presence of a well-defined tumor of the abdomen.
On hydrogen sulfide and mud treatment of gynaecological patients due to etiology and age of the process
Abstract
The question of how to treat patients at spas and how to prescribe a particular spa to patients in order to achieve the greatest efficiency of treatment is one of the cardinal issues in the spa business. The results of treatment of patients at a spa are not only dependent on the degree of anatomical and functional changes, not only on the type of procedures to be performed, but also on the etiology of the disease, the age of the process and a number of other reasons.
To the method of growing anaerobic cultures
Abstract
The method of growing anaerobes has not yet been sufficiently developed. A number of empirical methods have been proposed that give excellent results when growing one or another pathogen; but the use of these methods is often difficult, due to their complexity, and in addition, the factors contributing to growth, when applying a particular method, are not sufficiently understood.
On the issue of experimental meningitis in rabbits
Abstract
The problem of experimental meningitis has long been the subject of attention from a number of researchers. It should be noted that among the huge mass of experiments carried out on a number of animals with the aim of obtaining experimentally meningitis and leading to negative results, only experiments on monkeys deserve attention.
On chorionepithelioma-like tumors
Abstract
In addition to women's chorionepitheliomas, there are currently known tumours similar to men's chorionepithelioma that develop primarily in the testicles, so-called teratoid chorionepitheliomas. While the development of female chorionepithelioma is caused by pregnancy (from the elements of the trophblast), histogenesis of similar testicular tumours is explained differently.
Two cases of immigration of foreign bodies into the bladder
Abstract
The penetration of foreign bodies into the bladder during his injuries, as well as per vias naturales, is a fairly frequent phenomenon. At present, these cases are not of great interest to the surgeon, since they have been sufficiently studied and described on the pages of the medical press. Cases of passage of foreign bodies into the bladder from organs adjacent to the bladder are much less common. In such cases, foreign bodies pass into the bladder many days, sometimes months or years after they have been introduced into the tissues of the body.
Case of "milker's nodules"
Abstract
The disease, known in German literature as "Melkerknoten", is not uncommon, but because most medical and veterinary doctors are not familiar with its clinical picture and etiology, it is often not recognised and incorrectly treated, resulting in patients being permanently disabled and transmitting the infection to others.
On humoral factors in nervous activity
Abstract
Not only in the peripheral working organs, irritating substances are formed, which, as we can see, take an active part in their regulation, but also in the central nervous system, in the relationship of its individual elements, such substances apparently play an important role.
Malarial therapy for neuropsychiatric diseases
Abstract
Malariotherapy was definitely lucky in the USSR. After Minovich's brilliant book on the malarial treatment of neuroluces and other diseases, Malkin's no less brilliant monograph on malarial therapy of neuropsychic diseases appeared in a short period of time.
Development and evolution of sensitivity to tuberculin in guinea pig
Abstract
The authors infected guinea pigs with various doses of cultures of tuberculous bacilli of different virulence. They worked with sharply virulent cultures (strain Vallée), weakly virulent (R. Trudeau strain), then with avian tuberculosis strains virulent for rabbit and chicken, with avirulent BCg culture, and also with heat-killed cultures.
On the persistence of the antigenic nature of the bacteriophage
Abstract
The authors showed that when growing colibacteriophages together with various strains of E. coli, the antigenic nature of bacteriophages remains constant, that is, the ability of the bacteriophage to be neutralized by specific antisera does not change, and their neutralizing effect on antisera obtained during immunization with colibacteriophages is not lost.
Yeast extract as a substitute for meat extract
Abstract
Recently abroad, mainly in Germany, yeast extract has become widespread, which is mixed with various dishes as a nutritious product. It is increasingly beginning to supplant the meat extract, which has recently been in great demand in Germany.
